I can't find a wall to pin this to,
They're all coming down since I found you,
I just want to be where you are tonight,
I run in the dark looking for some light,
How will we know if we just don't try,
We won't ever know.
Let me light up the sky,
Light it up for you,
about me
My name is apple, and I'm red. I'm also orange, and I'm orange. I can also be called lemon, and I'm yellow. I'm also grass! Which is (obviously) green. Ditto.
I can be called pie by some of my alien friends from Jupiter and Mars. We like eating chocolate chip brownies and because they're browny and chocolatey and the brownie likes pie. And everyone knows that pie shall conquer the world.
This profile inspiration is given by Xero-sama, who owns a very cute tako that I like to squish a lot. Me and my friends hail from Earth, we live together in Tampines and eat good food everyday. North South East West.

Taipei 101 (
traditional Chinese: 臺北101 or 台北101;
simplified Chinese: 台北101;
pinyin: Táiběi Yīlíngyī;
Wade-Giles: T'ai-pei I-ling-i) is a 101-floor
landmark skyscraper located in
Taipei,
Taiwan. The building, designed by
C.Y. Lee & Partners and constructed by
KTRT Joint Venture, is the
world's tallest completed skyscraper. Taipei 101 received the
Emporis Skyscraper Award in 2004. It has been hailed as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World (Newsweek magazine, 2006) and Seven Wonders of Engineering (Discovery Channel, 2005). The building serves as an icon of Taipei and Taiwan as a whole. Fireworks launched from the tower feature prominently in international
New Year's Eve broadcasts, and the
landmark appears frequently in films, television shows, print publications,
anime media, games, and other elements of popular culture. Taipei 101 is managed by the International division of Urban Retail Properties Corporation based in
Chicago USA.
[1]The name of the building reflects its location in Taipei's 101 business district along with its floor count. (See also "
Symbolism" below.) The number is pronounced in English simply as One Oh One. The original name planned for the building, Taipei World Financial Center, derived from that of its owner, Taipei Financial Center Corporation and the formal name of the structure in
Chinese: literally, Taipei International Financial Center (
traditional Chinese: 臺北國際金融中心;
pinyin: Táiběi Guójì Jīnróng Zhōngxīn).
On 2007-07-21 Taipei 101 was overtaken in height by the
Burj Dubai in
Dubai,
UAE, upon the completion of that building's 141st floor.
[2] Taipei 101 retains the official title until the Burj Dubai is completed, though, as international architectural standards define a "building" as a structure that can be occupied.
